Richie Jackson Biography

Richie Jackson is the author of "Gay Like Me: A Father Writes to His Son," published by HarperCollins. He writes the monthly column "In Gay We Trust" for The Advocate. He is an award-winning Broadway, television, and film producer who most recently produced the Tony Award-nominated "Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song" on Broadway. He executive produced Showtime’s "Nurse Jackie" (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee for “Best Comedy Series”) for seven seasons and co-executive produced the film "Shortbus," written and directed by John Cameron Mitchell.

As an alumnus of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Jackson endowed a fellowship program at his alma mater in 2015 to assist graduates in the transition from academia to a lifelong career in the arts called The Richie Jackson Artist Fellowship. Additionally, he supports the training of future LGBTQ+ activists through the Richie Jackson LGBTQ+ Service Fellows program at NYU.

Jackson and his husband, Jordan Roth, were honored with The Trevor Project’s 2016 Trevor Hero Award. They reside in New York City with their two sons. Jackson's contributions as an LGBTQ activist and his extensive experience in entertainment make him a respected voice in both the artistic and activist communities. He has been invited to speak at a variety of prestigious venues and organizations, including NYU, The New York Times, BlackRock, NBA, Snapchat, Barclays, Discovery, Family Equality, Google, and 92Y.
